No aarch64 builds yet, but I have opened an issue. Might have a look at building this, as I cannot wait to try this on my phone (Pixel 3a/Mobian).

I’m really happy to see that they shamelessly ripped off discord.

I've never used Discord, so I thought "Oh, like Element, but less broken! Fancy."

We saw with bluesky that having an ultra-familiar UX is a big advantage.

I'm not a fan of Bluesky, but good point! Might recommend that client to a lot of people once it can do OMEMO.

For mobile linux, I’m going to stick with Dino. I like that it is lightweight, natively supported and integrates well with the rest of the system thanks to libadwaita.

I just miss ad-hoc commands, which Fluux already does. I'd prefer libadwaita as well, but having a way to config my IRC transport on the go is great. Gajim mostly works on the phone, but not as well as Fluux.

So, all the power goes to them.

Pretty sure there'd be a community fork pretty quickly, as this is already one of the clients with the most clean UI.

That makes a lot of sense. I hope it works well on the phone!

Yeah, in fairness I'm probably overreatcting a bit. One of the things I really like about XMPP is the diversity of stakeholders and developers. I would be really sad if that went away.
